What is the maximum speed you are allowed to drive a bus outside built-up areas when there are not enough seats for all passengers?

In Germany, the speed limit for buses outside built-up areas, when there are not enough seats for all passengers, is set at 60 km/h. This regulation is designed to ensure the safety of passengers when there may not be sufficient seating available, as standing passengers can increase the risk of accidents due to loss of balance or sudden stops.

Adhering to this speed limit helps to reduce the potential for accidents and ensures that bus drivers have better control of the vehicle, especially when making any abrupt maneuvers. Understanding and following this specific regulation is crucial for bus drivers to maintain safety standards on the road.
